# Keyboard shortcuts

> Every keyboard shortcut in Claire, organized by category — navigate submissions, annotate Blocks, manage AI suggestions, and control panels.

Claire is designed for keyboard-first workflows. Every core action — moving between paragraphs, adding annotations, approving AI suggestions, and opening panels — has a dedicated shortcut so you can grade submissions without taking your hands off the keyboard.

## Navigation
